88.83 is what percent of 88.83 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 88.83 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 88.83, so we can write it down as 100%=88.83.
4. We know, that x% equals 88.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=88.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=88.83
2) x%=88.83
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=88.83/88.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 88.83 is what percent of 88.83

100%/x%=88.83/88.83
(100/x)*x=(88.83/88.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1) to get x
100/1=x
100=x
x=100

now we have:
88.83 is 100% of 88.83
